Converting my tank into a sump tank?

[richietay]

Anyone has experience and advice in converting a bare tank into a sump tank? Planning to convert from my 4ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft tank. Is it possible to D.I.Y myself?

Thanks!

Yes it's possible... But you will need some tools to do it... Example you will need something to hold the compartments in place... I've seen a Tank maker bring the glass to someone's house (On some forum) & built it (7 Footer Tank) in the person's house...

It's something to hold the glass in place when you silicon them in place, you have to leave it in the position until the silicon dries...

You would need to improvise this in order to DIY...
